some UI bugs, but Good game at overall!
Fun! Was weird to get a handle on how movement worked at first, but had a great time once I did!
There were some audio bugs that made some noises when finishing the level but it was quite nice to play.
Ahaha the sounds are hilarious and the gameplay is super fun!
Good work!Well done!
RE: Controls
Instead of putting a rotate/thrust type of control we went with cardinal directions. It gave it more of an arcade feel and less of a driving feel.
RE: Sounds.
All of the audio is original and was added at the last hour. Too bad about the bugs, we may fix them in the future. This is our first submission as a group. Thanks for the feedback.

Actually pretty fun. Hurts my ears. Perfect 5/7.
RE: Ears
Added a warning about the audio bug in the description.
:D very funny! Congratulations for the game, I like it! - I think the sound could be improved but it's a nice game overall
Careful to people with headphones, buggy sounds can be tense! Fun game though.
I liked the recorded voices also sometimes it stacked up and became kind of crazy. Fun game! I liked how you used the theme to create a interesting mechanic. Makes for some exciting gameplay to have things rush toward and away from you.
Sounds are overlapping and quite hard to play but good job!
Thanks for all of the positive feedback!

so levels were too hard but some how I could get it and get out the theme you know
Shapeshift! Love it! Great job... lots of fun to play
Terryg: There are 6 levels. It gets really difficult after the first 3 tutorial stages.
If anyone is up for a challenge, type "game.state.start('stage6');" in the developer console of your browser to go to the last level.
Looks deceptively simple but it's actually harder than it is (Level 3/4 seems impossible with all those shapes coming after you). Still pretty fun to play though.
Sound bug is weird, but not so annoying, and besides, the gameplay and animation are good. Well done !
Loved the "shapeshift" soundbyte
When you get to the point where huge swarms of shapes are following/avoiding you, things get really fun and hectic.
Whimsical art and really funny audio make for a really attractive arcade game.
I'd recommend having spacebar or another keyboard key activate the Next and Try Again buttons, since the player will have 2 hands on the keyboard while playing. Having to reach for the mouse each time you win/lose is an unnecessary step.
Nice work!
TheMeorch: Thanks for the tip about hitting the space bar, or some other key. Didn't think about the hand positions.
The mechanic is pretty memorable, almost like Pac-Man in its system of give-and-take (constantly switching between hunter and hunted, and all). I think the one place the game suffered a bit was level design. I typically found the only strategy to be herding enemies into the corner and wait until the other shapes caught up with me. I think the gameplay could stand to be more varied in this way.
But again--the concept is sweet. I came back to this entry a couple of times because of it.
Interesting game; requires quick reflexes!
This is one of the best entries, great replay value!
Interesting idea, but it becomes really difficult, really fast, maybe a few more 'easy' levels to get more used to the concept?
